Chapter 114 Hearing the National History
The official Wei-certified numerology, ‘Guolao Xingzong’, records that there are six types of Sun-horizon.
It is divided into big sun across the sky, sun and moon in the same palace, sun and moon shining together, pearl out of the sea, sun and moon shining on the wall, and giant sun in the same palace.
Among them, pearl out of the sea belongs to the fourth type of rising sun-horizon, which is not as long-lasting as the first three types, and has a unique rapid rise and explosion period.
Taizhu believes that Zhou Yuan’s horoscope is precious, still in the stage of rising and leaping, and his luck is extremely prosperous. Even if he is placed in the township for a few years, he can accidentally discover the hidden secret realm.
It is not accidental that he can enter the Moon Palace, contact the Yin Ghost Secret Realm, and discover the Water Bandit Secret Realm, but the feedback of the rising pearl shining through the haze.
Therefore, he should be taught art as soon as possible and transferred to the local area, so as to discover one or two hidden secret realms while his luck is prosperous.
Otherwise, when Zhou Yuan has great achievements and important titles, he will become a middle-aged decline, and it will be difficult to resonate with the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth.
As one of the six Lingcheng directly under Taichang, the head of the Nine Ministers, Taizhu’s words are still very important.
After his explanation of numerology, the court officials thought about it carefully and found some truth.
Based on Zhou Yuan's experience of entering the Moon Palace, spying on ghosts, and capturing water bandits in the three months since he entered the camp, if he had not been transferred to the capital to participate in the test, he might have discovered new secrets.
Therefore, this special talent with the ability to hunt for treasures must not be buried.
In fact, facing the prophecy of numerology, the court officials did not believe it completely or not at all, but just thought that they should let it go and try.
If there is something, it will increase the national strength; if there is nothing, he can be transferred back to the imperial army in two years.
The reason why they agreed with Taizhu's words this time was not really based on the theory of fate.
It was because Taizhu pointed out that Zhou Yuan's pearl out of the sea has a shelf life.
No one knows when his pearl can rise. If he acts slowly, the pearl will not rise but decline, which would be a big loss.
"What the Grand Master said makes sense. Zhou Yuan, are you willing to explore some secret places for the Great Wei while your luck is high?"
"Your Majesty, for the prosperity of the country, I am willing to obey your order."
According to the practice of the Great Wei, the top scorer of the spiritual test will stay in the capital to learn first, and then be assigned to the prefectures and counties to serve as a military officer. After being proficient in government orders, he will be promoted to the position of lieutenant to guard the prefectures and counties.
This is much better than those ordinary candidates who guard a county and serve in a border town.
But since Zhou Yuan's luck is high, there is a new saying. He directly skipped the regular promotion process and received special treatment.
"Okay, I will grant you a position when I return to the palace, and you will still retain your status as a Yu Lin Lang, and you will be granted the right to travel to the capital."
The Great Wei Emperor did not intend to send Zhou Yuan to inspect the local area, but was prepared to let him explore the topography of the capital first.
The governors of various states had no objection to this, but instead became interested in the Grand Master's numerology.
They all said that if the Grand Master had free time, he would definitely go to their house to sit and see their offspring.
This was a bit like putting the Grand Master on the spot. If he said that everyone was good, he would appear hypocritical; if he said that someone was not good, he would be suspected of insulting others.
Only the Emperor of Wei helped him and assigned him new official duties, otherwise he would really have to be a guest fortune teller for a few days.
"Come and drink, everyone, and hope that our dynasty will always prosper."
The Emperor of Wei was in a good mood because he got a lucky general, and Zhou Yuan also got more freedom, which was a win-win situation.
The subsequent banquet was relatively dull, and the topic fell back to the appearance of each state and reminiscing about the past.
In the end, it was the former dynasty Da Kang who took on everything and became a bronze mirror reflecting the present.
"Da Kang lost the country because of personal interests, and the spiritual objects will always be circulated among a few families and surnames, cutting off the talents of the world.
Even those who are noble will be afraid of fighting, and those who are good at fighting will never have spiritual food. They look strong but weak, and will be broken with a poke."
"You should remember Da Kang's mistakes and keep the spirit of our Wei Dynasty without bloody battles and spiritual food."
"We will obey the order, bravely forge the military spirit, and be crowned with blood in Wuwei."
The spirit of Wei Dynasty does not lie in the orders of the Emperor of Wei, but in the behavior of the governors of each state.
It can be said that the essence of the spiritual test is to select the real talents who are good at fighting from the entire Wei land.
If one day, all the candidates in each state are relatives and friends of the governors, the foundation of Wei Dynasty will be over.
Therefore, at the end of the state banquet, the Emperor of Wei still whipped Da Kang of the previous dynasty.
Let all the court officials remember that the essence of Wuwei is not how much spiritual energy the body can contain, but whether you dare to fight and fight to the death.
This national policy obviously violates the hedonistic thinking and cannot be maintained forever.
But at least in the stage where it can be maintained, it will greatly improve the quality and bravery of the warriors of Wei.
Zhou Yuan saw the real cohesive core of Wei from this national policy.
With this bloody battle promotion channel, the warriors of Wei can keep in touch with ordinary people.
Otherwise, over the years, the warriors may psychologically think that ordinary people are not human beings, at least not of the same race as them.
At that time, it would be natural to drive away some lower races to feed the demons and form a captive country with the demons.
After the Shangyuan State Banquet, Zhou Yuan went with the governor of Huaizhou, during which the governor of Huaizhou suddenly asked a question.
"Zhou Yuan, Dakang had absolute military power, but still lost the country.
They all turned to dust and rotten soil, and only our Great Wei shines in the world. Do you know why?"
"I don't know, but I think the war to overthrow the country must have been very tragic."
"Yes, it was very tragic. We can't imagine how tragic it was at that time.
But the national history records everything truthfully. The people of the eight cities donated their flesh and blood, offered sacrifices to the gods and souls, and swore to the demon soldiers to inherit our clothes and never submit to us."
"I can't tell you what happened later, but I can tell you that they did not submit to us, but instead set off years of war.
So the Wei Dynasty did not change, but was a new country built by the blood of the people.
If you have the ability to find secret realms, then find more. Only when the Wei Dynasty prospers forever can people be human beings. "
The words of the governor of Huaizhou made Zhou Yuan realize how the people of Dakang beat the first drum of war.
The military power of this country is not a slogan. It is likely that it was too lacking before, which caused the fanatical attention.
"Yuan understands, but since the demon soldiers kept their promises, why didn't they show up in the national dynasty?"
"Of course, they changed their names and merged into the national dynasty. The Wei Dynasty was built by common beliefs, not a single race.
Even in the vast Quhe River, there are our water tribes, but the water tribes are extremely xenophobic, so we can't interfere too much with the Quhe tribes. "
After being valued, the treatment was indeed improved.
The court information that was not known before was now explained by a garrison governor.
"Why did the governor tell me this? It's a bit too early for me to get in touch with the secrets of the national dynasty. "
"This is the intention of His Majesty. His Majesty said that he would reveal some cruel history to you, a passionate young man.
To prevent you from being deceived by some foreign spies when you are inspecting the capital, and finally not finding the secret place, but being fooled into following the thieves.
Your identity is connected to the good families of the people, and it involves some of the wishes of the people. You need to be cautious in everything you do. "
"Don't worry, Governor. I am not a child and I will not be reckless and forget my thoughts. "
